Music Appreciation Reflection

Artist: Craig Morgan
Song: The Ballad of Mr. Jenkins

This song was written recently and tells the story of a young soldier who grows old. The soldier faught in vietnam and lost his best friend there. I felt the song was written in a way to show the pain and anguish of those that have to go fight in wars; i cant really put my finger on how it is releated but it seemed to be strongly influenced by the Iraq war even though no mention of that is made in the song.
